This week, we are honoring Pride Month with a powerful conversation about storytelling, community, and the impact of showing up - not just for a moment, but month after month. At the center of this episode is Kate Anderson, Community Philanthropy Manager of Sustainers, who offers us an inside look at how The Trevor Project is building a movement of lifelong allies and deepening relationships with their recurring donors.

You’ll hear about the behind-the-scenes tactics they’re using to drive 40-50% open rates, their high-retention onboarding strategies, data-driven storytelling, and interactive Pride kickoff webinar. Even the smallest tweaks (like a single line of text on a donation form), led to a DOUBLING in their monthly donor acquisition. 

As a leading LGBTQ+ nonprofit, The Trevor Project does a fantastic job of treating sustainers as advocates, and if you’re tuning in, you’ll be inspired to start showing up differently for your most committed supporters.
